The force is clearly with them. In a reported first, researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a newfangled technology that theoretically could be used to construct an actual lightsaber. Until now, photons, or the ...

It’s the news that Star Wars fans have been waiting for for years – scientists have created a lightsaber. However, the weapon will be of little use if you are trying to fend off the dark side of the Force. It was created by accident when a team managed ...

They haven’t actually created a real-lifelightsaber, but understanding the physics is the first step to that ever happening. “It’s not an in-apt analogy to compare this to lightsabers,” Harvard physics professor Mikhail Lukin said in a statement.

It's a Star Wars fan's dream come true: the lightsaber is now real! Researchers from MIT and Harvard discovered how to gather photons and atoms to create a new form of matter, according to CNET. The real-lifelightsaber however, is no deadly weapon ...

We didn't realize it was "Star Wars" week, but after TMZ posted two sets of awesome photos from the set of Episode VII -- we've now captured a real-life "lightsaber" battle in Central Park ... well as real as possible. These aren't just some random nerds ...

That’s because researchers at MIT and Harvard have managed to create a real-lifelightsaber in the lab. The actual science is mind-numbing. It involves getting photons to bind together into molecules. But in scientific circles, it is a big deal.

Real-life lightsabers is how an MIT professor describes complex research into photons. MIT Professor Vladan Vuletic used lasers to discover a new form of matter. "It has long been a dream to have photons of light beams interact with one another," Vuletic said.
